A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Jun 28, 2020
Hey movie lover - haven't you often heard behind the scenes conversations in your head? You know, the ones between Clark Gable and Carole Lombard? Or Garbo and Gilbert? Or maybe, just maybe, Irving Thalberg and Norma Shearer? Or better yet, all those mop up men at the Harlow home discussing ho read more

The Lion in Winter Directed by Anthony Harvey Written by James Goldman from his play 1968/UK IMDb link Repeat viewing/Amazon Instant This movie holds up so damn well to a re-watch.

Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Dec 8, 2017
Originally published December 2nd, 2014 The Lion in Winter was an eleventh-hour addition to the list simply because I wanted one more Christmas movie I’ve never seen.

The Lion King
The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Aug 11, 2017
As the lights went dark in the theater last weekend, I watched my son’s face in anticipation. I’ll always remember how I felt at the start of The Lion King. The singing call and the sun rising startled and shook me inside. I remember being amazed, mystified and engrossed in the film, especially read more

The Lion in Winter (1968)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 9, 2014
The year is 1183 and the castle of King Henry II is a dark and dank place during the winter months. You would not think so by the opening moments where an energetic King (Peter O’Toole) duels his young boy John (Nigel Terry). His mistress takes in the scene from afar. On first glance this whol read more

The Lion King (1994)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Jun 8, 2013
Better late than never, right? The Lion King is another feather in the Disney cap and the last as Disney’s grandiosity and need for awards caused them to enter shaky territory. The studios take on Hamlet (or Kimba: The White Lion depending on how much you believe Disney plagiarized) and it read more

I watched A Lion in Winter with my mom and sister, while I spent a little time at home. Supportive of my blogging mission, they were excited to watch a best picture nomination with me. Shortly into the film, they both had their questions and comments. “Which Henry is he again? John looks like read more
